1976 Map of Rose Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Cumberland Mountain dominates the northern half of this Lee County landscape, creating a formidable geological barrier that channeled early Appalachian settlement and transport into the valley below. In the mid-1970s, the community of Rose Hill and nearby Henegartown served as central points for local commerce and rural life. The orthophoto imagery reveals the complex patchwork of small-scale agricultural clearings that defined the region's land use during this era. High-altitude drainage systems like Martins Fork and Cranks Creek flow northward into Kentucky, while Martin Creek and Hardy Creek drain the southern valley floor. The map captures a moment when smaller named locales such as Hagan, Sampson, and Liggett maintained distinct identities along the mountain's base and the primary roadway corridors.
